My report from yesterday, Friday the 13th. I took a vacation day since I knew this weekend would be busy (last weekend before Gold blackout). Got to the parking gate by 5:20. Parked, through security (no bag) and in line by 5:40. I got BG 18. Walked on SDD and then my group was called at 7:17...

Nope. No “bars” in MK. Hop on the resort monorail from MK for a great selection of bars.

I do solo day trips all the time and one other strategy that I haven’t seen mentioned is eating at the bar. At Tune-In Lounge and Yak & Yeti you can order from the full restaurant menus. Other bars like Nomad Lounge or any of the resort lounges have more limited menus but still have great food...

I live about 90 minutes away and go almost every weekend for a couple of hours of “Disney therapy.” Sometimes with my adult son who also has an AP, sometimes solo. I love my half-day solo trips. And so much can be done last minute/same-day. For example - Yesterday was Saturday and the weather...

I agree with all of the previous posters re: exposure to the elements. Hot days feel hotter, cold days are colder and rainy days are wetter. Plus, for visitors who are relying on Disney transportation, you’re on the bus.

Both of the fried green tomato dishes - at the Arbor (the Odyssey building) with crab and fennel salad AND in Italy with mozzarella and balsamic glaze. Add in that Italian margarita which might be my new favorite festival beverage.

All of the festival passports list the food kiosks starting with the Mexico side and going clockwise. So, as far as Epcot is concerned, it seems that left is the “right” way. :-)

I just saw her last week. She is there, in all her pancake makeup glory!

For me it seems that I have the best luck the night before and day of.

I’m a passholder and arranged myself a fun solo Saturday outing to HS yesterday using this strategy. I had wanted to go after dark to see the holiday projections but on Friday evening, while watching some TV with DH, I got a 9:45 FP for SDD. A morning trip, it is then! I use Google Chrome to...

:yay: Thanks so much for the heads up! Just was able to plan a Sunday trip on 11/18 to AK based on the elusive FOP FP+.

Dang it! It was definitely not dead on Saturday when I was there. I have never seen it that crowded!

From yesterday’s Parisian Afternoon F&W event at Monsieur Paul’s -

Spent the day at Epcot yesterday. DS34 and I are passholders and we brought a dear friend, who was a DW virgin. The three of us attended the Parisian Afternnon event at Monsieur Paul’s and I would definitely recommend it. We arrived early and we were escorted to our table and seated before...

The new jalapeno poppers with raspberry sauce and spicy fried cauliflower from Golden Oak Outpost in MK.

Exactly! I loved the paint-by-number murals, the artists, the beautiful food and, most especially, the super cool Photo Pass opportunities to fit yourself into classic works of art. I've been both years and it's my favorite festival. So glad it's coming back.

I actually have a Times Guide from November of last year and it's got "Sunset Seasons Greetings" running from "Nightfall - Park Close".

Every 10-12 minutes or so. Timed with the projections on ToT. As a Florida resident, I loved it. We call it “snope”. Don’t get it in your eyes. It burns.

I co-sign all the previous mentions of Mostly Kosher. If they’re back this year I will catch them every time I’m there. And if it is the same, the Spiced Rum Punch Slush at the French kiosk is my favorite of all the festivals’ French slushie drinks (and that’s saying a lot!). The Voices of...

The baguette from Les Halles. They’ll give you some butter packets to go with it. I could live on that bread.
